R. López de Heredia Viña Cubillo Crianza Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2006

Ryan Flinn

Bringing the funk! Beautifully aged a decade+ in and really hitting its stride. Still very bright and tangy with fading fresh fruit but more dried cherries.

Entry level Lopez = value on a José Andrés wine list. In great form. Perfect with a broad variety of meat.

This Tempranillo blend is ready at 9 years old. Don't wait. The tannins are subtle so it's time to pop the cork. Pair it with a low fat meat like filet mignon. Very smooth and mature. It's aroma is savory and attention grabbing at first but it quickly settled as it opened up. Chocolate and tobacco on the front. Nice Spanish red fruit on the finish. Easy drinking and elegant.

Love this wine. Ripe ripe ripe. Prunes and plums but medium bodied and elegant.

David Verheyen

.375 format. Have enjoyed older and larger formats more but a classic.

Cristóbal Arellano Borges

Surreal Rioja. Seems fuller than '05?

Cameron Scott

Velvet smoke, dried fig and five spice.

Alicia

Nice value, bright fruit, a little funky brett.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Over delivering. Drinks like a Reserva, and a steal at $25. Leathery fruit and creamy silkiness. Long earthy finish. Evolving constantly. Showing wonderfully, drink up!
